Topic: I want to form a local club in Harford/Baltimore MD Area + Introduction (Read 1857 times)

I recently attended a really cool event. It was a RepRap Build-A-Thon (www.reprap.org) hosted by HacDC.org. RepRap is an open source 3D printer project. I had a ton of fun at this event which was hosted in DC and now I would like to form a club closer to my home in Harford County Maryland.

I am looking for anyone who would be interested in forming a club. Here are my thoughts...

1) Find Members (which I am doing here)2) Find a meeting place to rent such as a garage or vacant room in a public building.3) Establish monthly dues to pay for the meeting place and additional funding.4) Have all the members donate something to the club and use additional member dues to purchase materials and tools for projects which the group would participate in together.5) Have weekly meetings and social gatherings for members and family of members.

Please PM or E-Mail me if you are interested. Everyone of all ages is welcome to participate.
